Answer:

The correct answer is E. Modern medicine hasn't decreased total fertility rates in industrialized societies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Modern medicine has increased world fertility rates by creating new methods of artificial fertilization for people who have difficulty conceiving and starting a family, thus increasing the fertility rates of society.

However, the reduction in the birth rate is a global trend, that is, the number of children that each family has. This, coupled with the deaths of baby boomers and other numerous generations, is leading to a brake on population growth in developed countries. But this in no way implies a failure or a responsibility of medicine, but to sociological issues that escape this science.
